The Legacy of Sir Dave

Welcome to
my webloid which I call the Talking Beaver Trading Post.
I am your host, Sir Dave Dell, spinner of tall tales
and outrageous jokes from the
honky tonks of New Mexico.

The
actual Talking Beaver Trading Post is one of the most
unique place I've ever visited. It embodied
the whole essence of the New Mexico territory.
Yup, and you can read all about it by clicking
here now.

Below I've posted a few
photos of me taken at different times during my escapades.
You'll surely find that I have a fondness for the
ladies. But I am always a gentleman, a chivalrous
knight so to speak, although I may be a little
rough around the edges.

Here is
a photo of me while I was in the cavalry, stationed
in the New Mexico territory. Pictured with me
are Mogollon Mike and the Cantina Dancehall Gals: West
Coast Brenda, Moonshine Mindy, and Tantalizing Taunya.

Every Saturday
night would find me over at the cantina in the
arms of those wild women. You never seen such
carryin' on and hootin' and hollerin' and vampin'
and, of course, dancin'. Yup, I've spent a fair
deal of time cavortin' over at the ol' cantina.

After the release
from my military obligations, I done found myself a
mail order bride, Colleen the Chemist. She is
the maker of that fine patent elixir, "Black Cat
Tonic", the cure-all for every ailment which afflicts
humanity, and felinity. Me and her traveled all
over the territory dispensing tonics from our medicine
wagon. More often than we care to admit we got
chased outa town; not by the sheriff, but by all the
dogs. They hated that stuff!

Here
is me again with one of my favorite wenches, Darlin'
Desiree. I really took a hankerin' to this
pastry, as you can tell. Me and her met up at
the ol' Sundance Saloon one evenin' quite by accident.
(Hee, hee. She still thinks it was an accident
that I tripped and stumbled at her feet.)

Do
you believe in love at first site? I'm not sure
I do, but I can tell you that after our first dance
I was hopelessly infatuated. I proposed marriage
to her on the spot. But all she did was giggle
and say, "Why, sir, you sure do know how to flatter
the ladies. Can I have a few moments to think
it over? Like a year!"

It's been goin' on seven
year now and she still hasn't answered me. I
wonder if she's puttin' me off.

Here I be with Cyclone
Kelli, the most vivacious woman around these parts.
How we looked forward to the monthly shindig in town.
She'd come over early to make sure I got all
cleaned up proper like. That woman sure
know how to make baths fun. Then afterwards we
would go dance the night away. And she would whirl
and twirl 'til dawn, thus earning her nickname.

Here is me pleadin' with
Alyxis the Gypsy for her favors. She is a profoundly
spiritual woman who has taught me a lot about the spiritual
side of life. She is also a natural born healer
with remarkable abilities.

Me and Alyxis bonded immediately
when we first met. However, she tells me that
we had met many times before in previous lives.
My favorite was the life we spent together in ancient
Egypt. She was in the harem while I was the
eunuch in charge. That little impediment of
mine in no way prevented us from having a lasciviously
good time.

I first met Bernice
the Barrister at a costume party. I had
dressed up quite respectable like, completely out
of character for me. But she didn't know it,
and assumed I was indeed respectable. She was
dressed as a cat, and such a cute cat that she immediately
captured my heart. I've always hankered for
the feline type of woman. You know, one that
purrs when you cuddle up to her.

To this day she doesn't
have any idea of my true character. I sure do
hope she never sees this tabloid.

One warm
spring morning as I was exploring a remote hidden
canyon I happened to fall off a big rock and twisted
my ankle something awful. But my distress was
short lastin' because along came Dancin' Swan, a powerful
Indian medicine woman and, I might add, a very fetchin'
maiden. Her sparkling eyes and bright smile
had done cast a love spell on me so that I forget
all about my predicament. But not her.
With her expert treatment, I was able to walk back
without any pain. From that fateful moment we
have a powerful bond between us that has lasted to
this very day. She even gave me my own spiritual
name, Running Bare.

So, you may ask,
whatever happened to all these folk who danced through my
life? I reckon I can tell you now, since you been
so kind to read all the way down to here.

Mogollon
Mike - He is still around but hardly gets
out anymore. He spends most of his time prospectin'
down south, and word has it that a ghost town has been named
after him.

West
Coast Brenda - Brenda saved a fortune while
dancin' and vampin' and now owns much of the whole town.
But she still likes to get out now and then and dance with
me and the gang for ol' times sake.

Moonshine
Mindy - This delightful damsel moved to Italy
to give her two delicate daughters a proper continental education.
I guess when she saw how I turned out, she decided this isn't
the place to raise young ladies.

Tantalizing
Taunya - Taunya is now an actress and will
hopefully soon be makin' her first movin' picture.
Lately I hear that she has been implicated in many murder
mysteries. She sure do make a good villainess.

Colleen
the Chemist - She and her black cat
found true love with a pharmacist from Texas, but no love
of Texas itself. She is now trying to drag him back
to New Mexico but he is resistin' because the fishin' ain't
as good.

Darlin'
Desiree - This darlin' eloped with a newspaper
man from Deadwood. See what happens when your back is
turned for even a brief moment. I guess she falls for
the guys who use fancy words and don't spit. Either
that or he bribed her with lots of chocolate!

Cyclone
Kelli -
Like the Energizer Bunny, this gal keeps going, and going,
and going. I've never seen her ever slow down.
If you're quick, you can still see her today dancin' the night
away.

Alyxis
the Gypsy - Alyxis is free spirited and has
few ties to any one place. She does stop in to see me
every now and then. Last time, though, she had a little
basket of joy to share with me.

Bernice
the Barrister - Bernice is destined for greatness,
at least in my eyes. She is one of those few lawyers
who has managed to maintain her integrity, and actually believes
in the law. Not me. I say, if guilty - hang em!

Dancin'
Swan, the Medicine Woman - Dancin' Swan has
one of the kindest hearts I have ever known. She is
always there when people need her healing touch.
She is truly an angel.
